Pegasus Cricket XI Includes County Players And Varsity Blues
By “THE ZOMBIE”
Quite a number of the Colony's leading cricketers will receive with mixed feelings of relief and disappointment the news that the visiting Pegasus Football. team will be matched against a Hongkong Cricket Club XI in a one-day match on Sunday, January. 3 relief in that they won't have to spend some time at the nets during the Christmas and New Year festivities and disappointment in the fact that they will not have the opportunity of playing against some of the best English cricketers.
However, there is a very good reason why the visitors will not be pitted against a Hongkong XI. They requested a game just for recreational purposes to break the monotony of their soccer routine.
